Hi everyone, many services, such as wunderground, provide data for "air quality" ScreenShotDec20 . Can this information be used to implement an "air quality" sensor? I am not a developer but I could do some tests if necessary ... Thanks!

I don't know if this addresses your specific need, but there is a separate Homebridge plugin that will act as an air quality sensor, pulling data from any of several different services: https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-airnow

Yes, it could be an option .. But AirNow is limited to US locations only and Aqicn is not available in all locations. Thanks to you, I searched and found another plugin [https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-airvisual-2], with some other place ... However I think that a service like wundergrond (with so many weather stations) you can find many places and having everything in one plugin is much more "efficient", isn't it?
